I don't use anything other than XHT BDZ for the ends of the wire that rest in the stem. I found that absolutely all other lube will, in the end, droop down / fall and land on the pcb or foam as other lubrications people recommend aren't as thick / don't stay in place well especially with long use which makes you constantly have to go back and re-lube or keep up with fixing the stabs. Only for the added lubrication to do what the first coat did. This is a good straight forward video though to understand the basics, I prefer to use 205 in the housing, I do not use a syringe or use as much as you did where the wire clips in, just a decent amount brushed around the wire thinly is more than enough and doesn't make things messy / over complicated.
@studio20creations8 ай бұрын
Thanks for sharing your method! Yes, XHT-BDZ is a great option too due to its thick consistency as you have mentioned. The main takeaway is that the wires will need to be properly straightened and when that's done I have never found a need to ever top up any lube in all of my builds after the initial process with whichever lubricant of choice. Appreciate your comment! :)

I don't have an issue with lubing them but more so maintaining them, I find that I always have to relube my stabs every month or so because they start to rattle which I don't really like

If u balance the wires as I've explained in the vid, there is almost no need to relube after the initial session. You hear rattling because the wires are not straight.

You've shown only how you tune the spacebar wires, do you do something with 2u wires? i've felt like it's impossible to balance them perfectly, i've tried both sides but it felt that always when i balanced perfectly the ends of stabilizer, the corner ticking would emerge. What can i do about that? Also thanks a lot for this video, it really helps to tune even the worst stabs that i've seen.
@studio20creations6 ай бұрын
I tune the 2U wires the exact same way as the spacebar. As long as the ends of the wires do not tick on your flat surface they are tuned and can be inserted into the housings in the same orientation. You don't need to flip the wire around and try to tune them it doesn't work that way. Hope this helps to clear up your query.

Very thin layer of Finish Line Trilinium “Premium Grease” on just the wire for TX and Staebies stabilizers. Krytox 205 on the stems and inside of housings, about as thick as you would apply to switches. The Finish Line is less than $10 for at least 8oz tub, maybe 16oz vs HXT-BDZ $5 per gram.

Hi hi, can I just use any aluminum u-channels? Are there anything that I need to lookout when getting one? I have a few options: aluminum plate (3mm thickness, 10cm x 30cm), AHH205 Aluminum flat plate (5mm, 2cm x 30cm), ACH1 Aluminum channel (2mm, 1.5cm tall, 3cm x 30cm), Aluminum miter track (3cm x 30cm) and I don't know how to check if these are... actually flat. Thanks!
@studio20creations11 ай бұрын
3 cm ones seem to be enough width to work with. I would suppose they are made to be quite flat though I guess if u want 100% accuracy u will have to buy a specialist product like the tuning block from Geonworks. I'd go with the thickest materials as I'm guessing these will be least prone to warpage, hence having the flattest possible surface.

Hey there! Would the syringe method work with XHT-BDZ? I'm buying both 205g0 and BDZ for future projects as I'm just getting into this hobby, but I got a prebuild custom keyboard from KBDFans (Odin 75) that has a bit of a ratlly spacebar. I was planning on applying it to that part of the stabilizer with a brush to not overdo it, but I'm wondering if 205g0 would be better as the Cherry stabs they used came clipped and lubed by them already. Definitely keeping this vid for my next build when I'm fine tuning my wires though, thank you for your help!
@studio20creations8 ай бұрын
Hello, glad you found the video useful! using a syringe with bdz will work great to "top-up" existing installed stabs if you don't want to go through the trouble of removing and tuning. The fix might not be permanent since the lube will ultimately migrate over time and ticking might re-emerge but this method is a great quick fix
@Ohmnity8 ай бұрын
Thanks for the super quick reply, mate! Is there any specific type of syringe you'd recommend? I know that BDZ is thicker than 205g0 so I don't know if any syringe that has a blunt tip might work or if I should be looking out for something in particular. I guess also considerably less should be applied because of its consistency, right? @@studio20creations
@studio20creations8 ай бұрын
@@Ohmnity since bdz is thicker you would want a tip with a larger diameter to allow the lube to be able to flow easier. Unfortunately I do not know what dimensions work the best you will likely have to trial and error for this one.

@@studio20creations I might just do a run of 205g0 first to top things off, if rattling still occurs then I'll use BDZ just to play it safe but I'll definitely try things out when my lubes arrive. Thank you very much again for your help man, cheers!

Lube goes into the inner stem cavity where the ends of the wires rest. With my method of wire balancing, lube is just to smoothen the actuations and a little goes a long way. There's no need to over-apply lube. Hope this helps!
